Researchers studied the timing of key events in the growth of five types of almond trees in Morocco. They found that some types need more warmth to flower, while others need more cold. Different locations in Morocco also affect when the trees flower and how long it takes for them to produce fruit. Some types of almond trees are better suited for areas with less risk of frost, while others may struggle in warmer climates. Overall, changes in temperature due to global warming could impact the production of certain almond tree varieties.
